According to UNICEF, climate change affects the most vulnerable people in the world: children living in poverty in developing countries. 2.2 billion impoverished children live in the 33 countries experiencing the most severe consequences of climate change. Those same countries, collectively, emit only 9% of global CO2 emissions, while the 10 countries that emit the most, including the United States, generate 70% of all CO2 emissions. To address this inequality, technologically advanced countries must take decisive action to reduce their use of fossil fuels. You have an important role to play too. If you drive, you should know that 60% of transportation related carbon emissions come from gasoline powered vehicles. If you switch to a plug-in hybrid or all-electric vehicle, you’ll be protecting life on our planet, while earning cash incentives and savings at the pump.
